Sourdough of the World
Professional bakers seek out starters from around the world just for their special
properties (extra tang, quick rising, etc). Though it may be uprooted from its home, its
unique characteristics remain. It is generally believed that sourdough starter retains most
of its original strains of yeast and bacteria. This is because these primary strains have
formed a strong mutual atmosphere which promotes continual growth and reproduction.
There are limitless varieties of starters in the world. San Francisco is easily one of the
most popular and recognizable, but there are many others to try!
